The independent front and rear suspension setup gave the R1T a car-like, planted feel, with the air suspension soaking up bumps and potholes.Īt speed, this setup, along with 835 hp at disposal, gave the R1T otherworldly performance. It also didn’t push too hard into corners and have a clunky, body-on-frame type of ride like a typical truck. With these tires and its 135 kWh (kilowatt-hour) battery, range was estimated to be around 270 miles on a full charge with the standard on-road tires, range would be around 315 miles, a significant bump up.ĭriving around on the streets of New York, the R1T did not feel truck-like - it felt like most other EVs I have driven, with smooth, effortless power. The test vehicle here was the R1T in adventure trim with a quad-motor set up and off-road tire package. ![]() And it is where the R1T really stands out from the pack - versus electric and even traditional vehicles. On the road is where the true test stood. ![]() Rivian R1T pickup truck (credit: Pras Subramanian)
